As we type this we currently have a regular corporate group class that includes attendees in Denmark & Japan; wedding couples in Norwich & Scotland; and students taking the odd private lesson online if their schedule means they can’t make their session at the studio!

Plus enquiries for Zoom Dance Lessons are increasing.

Zoom Wedding First Dance Lessons Online

We’re getting a lot of enquiries for our wedding first dance lessons to be provided online at the moment. Thanks to our dedicated Zoom Dance Lessons setup, not living close to our studio is no longer a restriction on your ability to experience our dance lessons.

We are experienced in how to translate our dance moves into easy to follow instructions online. Our First Dance choreography lessons are tailored around your choice of song. We work with you to put together a routine you can enjoy on your wedding day.

Worried about whether you’ll forget the moves in between sessions? We record some of your Zoom First Dance lessons practices. You are then sent a download link and can refer back to the videos to assist your memory when practicing.

The great thing with our Zoom First Dance lessons setup is that we can be available at short notice. A lot of our wedding first dance lessons enquiries are coming in only a few weeks before their wedding. We provide lessons five days a week (including Sundays) but we can be flexible should you struggle to find slots.

With prices starting from £35 we have options to suit all budgets, including a number of First Dance package options. If you’d like to discuss our First Dance lessons get in touch or search our availability now.

Zoom Private Dance Lessons

Not able to make your booked lesson? Maybe you’re still nervous about the Coronavirus levels or live too far away to attend our studio? Don’t worry we can still provide dance lessons online via Zoom.

Whether it’s fun solo dance routines, learning the basics of Ballroom and Latin American, or adapting Sequence dances to your front rooms, we’re experienced in compressing the dances into confined spaces.

Did you know that during the 2021 UK lockdown we even adapted the Waltz as an 18 week online course!

Lessons can be booked as purely Zoom Dance Lessons (just choose the Zoom option when booking). But we are also able to switch an existing in-person session to Zoom if you find yourself unable to make a booked appointment at short notice.

Interested in booking yourself a Zoom Dance Lesson with one of our team? You can search our availability and book online.

Corporate and Team Building Online Events

Whilst we are experienced in providing dance sessions for corporate events and team building days we have seen a rise in enquiries for streamed sessions.

We run weekly sessions for EJEF (a English-Japanese language school in Buckinghamshire) which includes regular attendees from Japan. They also have colleagues that have taken part in the Zoom Dance Lessons from around the globe (including Denmark & Tehran).

Carers Wales enlisted us to provide a fun Saturday Night Fever workshop as part of their ‘Me Time‘ project. The project aims to support un-paid carers with their mental health, especially due to the effects of the pandemic.

The Zoom Dance session was a great hit, with one person even taking part from a houseboat! We loved hearing how well it went:

Just to say a huge thanks from Amber and I – it was the best afternoon at work ever!!…So many smiley faces…Thanks again … it was a real blast !!!

YouTube Dance Lessons

During the first UK lockdown we produced four videos a week to hopefully keep our students busy and entertained. With options for Solo dancers, Partners, Sequence and Kids we tried to make sure there was something for everyone.

Since the reopening of the dance school we have still tried to maintain a weekly online dance lesson on our YouTube channel. In fact our viewership quickly went global and only around 12% of our viewership are actually based in the UK!

For those that haven’t taken part in one of our online streamed classes before here are a few details:

Booking a Live-Stream Class

To book yourself onto one of our live-stream dance classes just visit our class timetable. Please note whilst you only need one login per device accessing each participant would need to be booked in.

We run a 24hr cancellation policy on classes so please let us know as soon as possible if you are unable to attend. You are also able to log in to your account and cancel or reschedule sessions as required.

Accessing the Live-Stream Dance Classes

The link to the class is automatically generated and emailed by our system 30 minutes before the start of the class. Normally this should pop straight into your inbox but you may also need to check in your SPAM folder.

The email will be from “Learn to Dance <noreply@mail.mindbodyemail.com>” and normally has a subject such as “Here’s the link to Virtual xxxxx on 1/19 at 7:30 pm“

There will be a link to click and then you will be asked to login using the details you’ve registered on our system. If you haven’t taken one of our online live-stream classes before it’s worth clicking this link earlier and just checking you can login successfully.

You can also access the live stream by logging into your account on our website.

Our instructors will normally login to our live-stream dance classes around 5 minutes before they start. However you can be logged in any time after the email is received.

If it gets to the class start time and you haven’t seen us, or other students, pop up then it may be worth logging out and back in again if you’ve been logged in for a while.

Microphone and Video

We don’t switch off microphones by default for our classes. However should there be any echo/interference coming across we may mute all microphones.  You can still turn yours back on if you need to ask a question. There is a chat option but we don’t always have a teacher on hand to man the chat window.

It’s always better if we can see you, but it is not compulsory to have your video on. Only the first 15 participants to log in have the option of displaying their video feed.

Live-Stream Dance Classes – Points for Success

To ensure you get a good class we recommend minimising the number of devices that may be using your internet connection at the same time.

If you have the option to plug in, rather than using wifi, this is recommended.

Some students have recommended restarting your router before logging into the class if you have any issues.

Mindbody (our streaming platform) have a few tips over on their website. They also have a small app that can be downloaded to your device for our live-stream dance classes.

Help, I can’t see your feet?!

Finally to maximise our teachers on your screen choose the presenter view (a big rectangle with smaller underneath). There is a down arrow on the left-hand side above the video streams of other students. You can click this to remove all other video streams and just have ours on your screen.

Zoom Private Dance Lessons

We also offer private lessons via the Zoom streaming platform. You can book as normal on our website but please select the appropriate ‘Zoom’ lesson option.

For private sessions you will be send a personal link to attend the class at the booked time. This will often be sent at the start of the week so please keep hold of the email or the contained details.

Clicking on the emailed link will take you straight to the waiting room and our teachers will then let you in to your lesson.

Any other important tips?

The main thing is just to enjoy yourself!

Whilst we endeavour to make streaming lessons as seamless as possible there are a variety of factors that can affect both our, and your, internet connection.

Generally logging out and back in again should hopefully sort most issues.

We look forward to seeing you online soon.
